I’ve got a project – wait – not sure this even qualifies as a *project* – it’s THAT simple. Anyway, whatever you wanna call it, here’s a 5 minute curtain update that even the least crafty person can master like a boss. Once upon a time, my daughter had doors on her closet. They somehow […]

I decided to try something different around my kitchen window this year for Christmas. We’ve got some plans (nothing major, but some fun stuff in store;) ) for the kitchen – and  one of them involves adding molding around the window and rattan blinds to match the rest of the house. Valance is goin’ dowwwwn. […]

Whew! That’s a mouthful of a title, hug?! Just callin’ it like it is, people. You see, once upon a time, I had these incredibly blah – oh, and UNmatched curtains in my kitchen. Yes, they’ve been up for oh, about 9 years. And I JUST noticed – scratch that – my HUSBAND just noticed […]

Soooo close to the end of my daughter’s room YOU GUYS!!! Here’s one of the final touches we worked on last week – turning these sad, void-of-any-and-all-character windows: …into these framed out, fun, girly ones! A litttttle bit better, wouldn’t you say? First, Mr. ND cut some molding and nailed it up. Slowly but surely, […]

I’ve been having a lot of those ‘it’s so nice to have older kids’ moments lately. You know, those times that hit you as you all spur-of-the-moment go out to eat, and don’t need to pack sippy cups or diapers ahead of time. When you go to a friend’s house, who also has bigger kids, […]

If you’re sick and tired of hearing about my daughter’s room makeover, I will apologize in advance for this post. It’s thisclose to being finished, then I’ll be posting new projects, promise. Just taking care of little things now, as I wrap things up in there. Accessories, you know…the fun part:) One thing on the […]

Oh, spray paint. I could write a song about you, really I could. I mean, how else could I have this awesome “new” lamp and headboard for my daughter’s room and hardly spend a thing?! So let’s chat about that bed first, shall we? O. M. Geeeee. I was on Facebook one day, and lo […]

Seriously. My daughter’s room really is shaping up to be my favorite room in the house. I can’t WAIT to share this one with you guys. Facebook friends might remember that purple ladder my mom scored for me for a whopping $5 a while back? To be honest, when she brought this over I had […]

It is not lost on me that my dad is celebrating his 70th birthday today. Not sure if it’s due to hearing about it more, because of social media, or if life is just taking these difficult turns more frequently for more people, but too many I know do not have this gift. To have […]

The girls came over last week for our monthly craft night… Always a fun time. Wine, chocolate, and hot glue guns and Mod Podge abound! What could be better? We laugh a TON, and leave with a fun craft. Well, THEY leave. I don’t, being that it’s my house and all…but I digress… We went […]
